French petrol and diesel prices are dropping fast after the French government reduced their tax take twice over recent weeks. A friend just sent me this photo showing what price fuel is tonight in Nice. For reference, €1.39 for 95 is £1.21/litre..

In March, @AFBI_NI staff established Year 2 of the @daera_ni funded Manure in Arable trial. This project, supported, by @UlsterArable and NIGTA, is evaluating the impact organics on soil health and crop yields. @SuzanneHigginsM @lisaclareblack

Very true! So many fake products on shelves. But not all farmers here are as ethical as they should be either! Buy food from who you know!!!! SIMPLE👍 #farming #rapeseedoil #broighter #pollination #wildlife #wildflower #bees #localbusiness #sustainableLiving

The husband has tested positive for coronovirus. Day 3 of isolation nearly completed. He's 49, no other health issues and a farmer who never takes to bed but this put him there for 3 days. #staysafe #StayHomeSaveLives – at North West, England

A vegan vet on @BBCCountryfile and less than a minute given to the vet @RoyalAgUni to discuss @RedTractorFood An abhorrent piece that was not a true reflection of British farming and animal welfare standards. Where was the balance BBCCountryfile ?
